Mildly entertaining drama about young, beautiful, selfish, hedonists trying to avoid responsibility so as to focus on their young, beautiful, selfish, hedonistic lives.

Crappy thriller. When a pretty rich girl, her boyfriend, friend and the son of her fathers loaded business partner go on a boat trip things go tits up when the son of the girls dads partner tries it on with her and ends up in a fight with the boyfriend, ending with him being thrown off the boat into the ocean and left alone. The three friends' relationships are put to the test as they work out how to get out of the situation as it appears the man they threw in the water can't swim. Dead in the Water is meant to be a compelling, powerful, twisty-turny thriller but is actually quite dull and fairly predictable with half arsed performances. It looks shit to, like something channel 5(or some US/European etc equivalent!) would put on on a Tuesday evening. The twist is crap to, you won't give a shit. Dominique Swain looks good though.

Monday, August 13, 2012 (2001) Dead In The Water THRILLER Written and directed by Gustavo Lipsztein has a story of a floating dead body seen floating on the water, we don't know who this person is except that it's a teenage girl then it shows another teenage female girl who appears to be a yuppie, she's looking out the window and seeing the crowd surrounding this drowned body and conversing with her dad about taking the son of a wealthy magnate on to a sail while on a yacht. Two of her friends also comes along and one of them happens to be her boyfriend and his name is Danny (Scott Bairstow) who also has a friend bringing named Jeff played by Henry Thomas. If watched enough of these, sometimes one can see the end coming a mile away and if their is any reason to watch this it would to see Dominique Swain's swimsuite poses. 1 out of 4
